Thoughts on the Gov’t Shutdown
By Paul Werthman

As I write this editorial, our US Government is still in shutdown mode. It is extremely disheartening to see the 800,000 + essential personnel who are working without paychecks while being told that they can do odd-jobs on the side or sell belongings on eBay to supplement their loss of income.

New Wiring Devices Helping Data Centers Power Down Their Demand
Chuck Ross

If you could go back a decade or so, you’d find the growing data center market then under fire for its notoriously high energy demand. Operators based their siting decisions on locations offering easy access to inexpensive electricity, with energy cost being the primary motivator.  Today’s owners, however, are equally concerned about the environmental impact of that energy’s generation, which is helping to drive efficiency improvements in data center design.





Fuse Protection — No More Pennies
Steve Maurer, IME

Back in the day, and I mean WAY back, houses actually had no means of overload protection in their wiring systems. It didn’t take long for some electrical engineer to come up with the first form of protection: the fuse.

The fuses were designed to break the circuit before overheating in the wiring caused a fire.
